Scrapology November Challenge

Once again the girls on the Scrapology blog have chosen a lovely sketch for this month's challenge.

I used these photos of my sister's lovely dog Toby doing his 'yes I know I'm so cute' face. It was a rare occasion to actually be able to take a photo of him stationary - usually he is tearing around like Dill the Dog (from The Herbs - anyone remember that kids show? LOL I am giving away my age here!!).

I used Basic Grey Wassail and co-ordinating Bazill cardstock. The flowers are punched using two different sizes of EK Success retro flower punches and a EK Success double flower punch. The leaves are a Martha Stewart Frond punch. I have glittered around the edge of the layout with gold stickles and also lightly edged the punched flowers with gold stickles too. The flower centres are a mixture of red dewdrops and flower shaped bling.

Here are some close ups of the punched flowers

And a close up of the journalling

I'm looking forward to seeing what next month's challenge is. There is still time to take part in this month's challenge as it doesn't close until the 4th December.

Karen this really is a wonderful page, I just love the colours and patterns, they sit so well together and compliment perfectly. Also loving the little clusters of flowers, so pretty. And what a cheeky looking little character you have there....thanks so much for joining us again this month :). warmest wishes Anita..xxx

About Me

Hi - I'm Karen thanks for stopping by my blog and taking a peek. I'm a 50 something, Marillion obsessed, craft mad individual. Thankfully I have an understanding hubby who is also mad on Marillion and doesn't seem to mind me filling the house with all my crafting paraphenalia. I have recently quit working as a clerk to a local school's governing body and am now adjusting to being a full-time domestic goddess.
Thank you very much for taking the time to look at my little blog.
